ABO ORABI GUESTHOUSE NEAR THE RIVER NILE was recently extended and renovated in the Nubian village of West Aswan, which in Arabic is Gharb Aswan.

We have 2 floors accesibel by stairs with 11 double rooms, completely furnished and fully equipped to provide all personal needs. One huge terrace with an incredible view of the Nile, the Tombs of the Nobles and the city of Aswan.

There are 5 bathrooms, each with their own shower, toilet and sink.

The banks of the River Nile are a 15 minutes walk from the Guesthouse through the farmhouses, where you can visit the farmhouse of the brother of Mo Orabi.

ABO ORABI GUESTHOUSE NEAR THE DESERT was opened in October 2025 on the edge of the desert in West Aswan. Except to the roof there are no stairs, everything is flat and handicapped and wheelchair friendly.

There are only stairs to the entrance, where we will help you.

The Western Desert is next door, the Guesthouse is the last house before the desert.

Nearby are the Tombs of the Nobles, Qubbet el-Hawa, divided in Central open with ticket and North closed for the public due to ongoing excavations. Ask Mo Orabi for more information.

WESSY KA GUESTHOUSE with garden and free parking is located in the more touristic part of West Aswan near to the river Nile, Markets, Restaurants and much more.

Owner Sadam offers you a friendly welcome and a lot of possibilities like sand boarding next door, excursions, music sessions. The Guesthouse is handicapped and wheelchair friendly.

Due to Abo Orabi's personal experiences in the work field, he can give you all the information about the excavations in Aswan.

During his tours, you have the possibility to meet local experts, which can provide deeper knowledge into the Nubian history.
